Abstract

Several (n, γ) angular correlations of the neutron group leading to the 4.43 MeV level in C12 and the associated γ-rays from the reaction B11(d, n)C12 have been measured using time-of-flight techniques. The energies of the incident deuterons were 2.65 MeV and 5.35 MeV, and the angles of the outgoing neutron direction were chosen at intervals of about 20°. The results of these measurements clearly show that the simple theory of Butler stripping is quite inadequate to describe the detailed features of the reaction mechanism but that good qualitative agreement of the results might be obtained with the distorted wave theory. Moreover the (n, γ) angular correlation measurements for backward angles of the neutrons do not show the expected features of the heavy particle stripping mechanism, which has been used by other authors to account for the intensity of neutrons emitted at backward angles.
